Bit of Fun

I’ve been having a bit of fun with a FB group called “The View From My Window.” And despite some snark from my model-railroading-cousin-in-Ohio (“Oh – you’re still on FB?”) it’s been a good ride, with people from all over the world posting pix that range from the breathtaking to the mundane-but-still-fascinating. A lot of sunrises and sunsets, plus plenty of late-spring-still-snowy shots from up north, all the way to late-fall-in-the-southern-hemisphere from New South Wales. The idea is to include a bit of window-frame, even if it’s only your car window on the way to/from work. I leave it to you to go to the site, here, for the latest and greatest. But I can’t resist this one I just saw: Gotta love that tongue-in-cheek.

Bit of fun.

The last known photo taken just as the meteorite hit the earth wiping out the dinosaurs. Thought everyone could do with a good laugh after all the negatives on the group of late.

The poster’s comment about “negatives” is apt, as I’ve noticed a fair bit of complaining about a lack of actual window frames, about U.S. 2-letter state postal code abbreviations from folks outside the U.S., and this one, about, well… you can read it for yourself.

Why is this group turning more and more into a “look here is my cat in front of a window” or “hey look! This is a street, but not from my window” group….

My own complaint has more to do with the sheer volume of posts – many dozens a day – which is hard to keep up with, especially for those of us with a mild case of OCD. But be that as it may, here are a couple of selections from all around the world that I have NOT posted on FB yet, but likely will post eventually. I myself didn’t take all of them, and not all include actual windowframes. But the world could be a wonderful place if we’d all just lighten up a little. And you can say you heard it here first, folks.
